The Carrick Park Pacing Club will hold its final races of the season on Saturday.

Starting at 3.25pm, the eight-race twilight meet will climax with the $12,000 Carrick Cup.

However, there is a lot more going on at the Carrick Pacing Club on Saturday apart from the 2650-metre race, according to club secretary Sandra Rybarcyk.

Among the activities will be fashions on the field, a polocrose display and a celebrity race featuring, among others, Lyons Liberal MHA Guy Barnett, opposition Leader Rebecca White and Meander Valley citizen of the year Toby Ritter.
